Been This Way Before (Rap) - Roger
Well I been on the scene
For a mighty long time
I never use ***
Because I find
It meant destruction
To some friends of mine
D**e is mean
D**e is unkind
Just like a bad dream
Always on my mind
But from a bad dream
You will awake
Taking ***
Is the final mistake
I tripped about ***
And this story I tell
So listen all you people
And listen well
Well it seems to me
That I been this way before
I seen these sights
Just where I'm not sure
Maybe in my dreams
Or a story told
I would know these warnings
Even with a blindfold
I know this path
Has an evil lead
You know it's evil and it's lurking
In the summer breeze
Yes it's evil and it's lurking
Off to my side
But I have no fear
Because I been here
Dig it dig it
I been this way before
The path is dark and so unsure
Filled with warnings
That we all ignore
I got to keep my eyes open
So I don't miss the door
You got to keep your eyes open
So you don't miss the door dig it
We got to keep our eyes open
So we don't miss the door dig it
Now dig up everybody
This is what I got to say
You got to choose real careful
Not to go astray
Well I know this Joe he is useless yeat
Without wine women fun and song
But even wine women fun and song
Can lead you wrong
If you don't know you gotta be strong
I been here before
Well the path is rough
For rich and poor
Young and old you see I know
You know the road
Has so many so many
Highways and bi-ways
And both ways and more ways
Right ways and wrong ways
There's so many ways
You know you better choose right
Dig it
Here lies such a lovely flower
Just look at it sighin'
As it lies among the vines
I got to watch out
As it lies in its spendor
'Cause I know that it's waiting
There to hinder
But it can't fool me
'Cause I know yes I know
'Cause I know that it's poison ivy
Well poison ivy makes me think
About a friend I had
Makes me think about a friend
Who was my enemy
Yes he offered me a pill
And said my brain would heal
But his pill only gave me
A temporary thrill
I was trapped like a slave
I was trapped like a slave
For the slow slow kill
This d**e would steal
Now a bottle of d**e
Gives me a cold chill
Leave the crack alone
Leave the crack alone
I would rather get
The legal stuff that they distill
And be better off
From now until
Because you see I know
Because I've been here
I been this way before
The path is dark and so unsure
Filled with warnings
I got to keep my eyes open
So I don't miss the door
You got to keep your eyes open
So you don't miss the door dig it
We got to keep our eyes open
So we don't miss the door dig it
Taking *** is the final mistake
Taking *** is the final mistake
I been this way before
The path is dark and so unsure
Filled with warnings
That we all ignore
I got to keep my eyes open
So I don't miss the door
You got to keep your eyes open
So you don't miss the door dig it
We got to keep our eyes open
So we don't miss the door dig it
